Did some thinking on envy recently. In case you didn't know, "envy" is negative feelings caused by desire for something you don't already have, like envy of a colleague's new car, job or lover. That's not to be confused with jealousy, which applies to things you already have. That's a topic for another day.

The way I think about envy is like this - you're at an apple farm and you see people picking apples. Would you be envious that they get to pick apples? Well no, because you can easily pick apples too. You simply have to invest a few hours into doing it.

But guys get envious when they see other men pick up women. But women are just like apples. They do "grow on trees" in a metaphorical sense, because beautiful women are everywhere if you take a stroll through downtown or the nightlife. And I guess the issue is that most guys can't go picking up girls as easily as they pick apples.

But if you look at it from that perspective, who's fault is it that the envious guys can't pick up women? Envy in this case is fundamental dishonesty. It's redirecting their own negative feelings of inadequacy into hatred towards others. And of course, being envious serves no purpose. The solution to inadequacy, after all, is to become adequate. It's more useful to look at the success of other people and think, "Awesome, so it can be done. Let's do it!"

The frequency in which, I have seen girls engaged in a thumb war with their smartphones, when they are literally surrounded by actual humans is actually deplorable. If you agree to meet people for a social interaction quite frankly, shit or get off the pot. Now if you want to talk about my selfie game, that’s another story...

She's murmuring while resting on top of me, can't really tell what she is saying. Is she talking in Korean to me? Maybe she's just drunk? I ask for clarification, and she repeats “Turn off the lights.” Fear struck my heart. That doesn't sound like that sweet, innocent looking girl I met at the mall. Why should the light be turned off?? I pictured a vivid scenario of her strangling me for having sex with her 20 minutes ago. Widow Spider Mode.
